Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40 — Reddit Reviews
by Supergoop!
Updated August 18, 2026
Tinted formula doubles as a primer, blurring pores and fine lines
What the community says
This mineral sunscreen offers SPF 40 protection with a matte, silicone-based formula that doubles as a primer. It works well for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin but may leave a slight white cast and isn't sweat-proof. Price and occasional breakouts deter some users.
